If you've only got two thumb touches (and no 8ve key on the front for LH1 in a similar place where a clarinet's throat G# key would be located) and the upper one is overlapping with an adjusting screw either on the thouchpiece arm or on a small arm right by the key barrel, it'll be fully automatic - the lower touch is the 8ve key (only need the one main 8ve key for autos) and the upper one is the 3rd 8ve key.

If there are two thumb touches placed one above the other (and has the 2nd 8ve touch like a clarinet's throat G# key), the upper one being teardrop shaped and the lower one being oval and works the small pad cups in between the LH fingerplates, then it's a dual (conservatoire+thumbplate) or thumbplate system and will most likely have semi-auto 8ves.

Can you post photos of them so we can be sure exactly what system oboes you have?

You can check what the 8ve mechanisms and thumb kys look like here: http://www.howarth.uk.com/oboes.html
